Follow new updates and improvements to Filmmaker Tools.

January 31st, 2026

This initial release features a variety of working tools, but is pretty rough around the edges. Even though this is the first beta release the software has gone through many changes and there will likely be many broken and/or incomplete features.

What is currently working:

Film Production Tools

  • Screenplay import (FDX, PDF or Fountain)

  • Automated screenplay scene parsing

  • Breakdown sheet creation with element tagging

  • Production schedule stripboards (traditional style)

    • stripboard PDFs

  • Production schedule stripboards (sprint style)

  • Call sheet generation from stripboards

    • automated populating of scene, locations, characters from breakdown sheets

    • Call sheet PDFs

Productivity Tools

  • Projects, Objectives, Tasks and Todos

  • Each item can have notes, due dates, context and assigned to a user

  • Customizable phases

    • Example use: Development, Pre-Production, Production, Post-Production, Distribution

    • Objectives, Tasks and Todos can be assigned to phases and filtered accordingly

  • Much of the UI labels are customizable, for example Objectives, Tasks and Todos could be renamed to “Goals, Jobs and Checklists”

  • Work can be separated via “Workspaces”, for example, one workspace could be dedicated to a company and the other to personal projects.
